We also have such pastries on our side, but the name is a bit more popular, called muffin cake, the most famous is Chongyang cake. The name is different, but the practice is similar - mix rice flour and glutinous rice flour, add water and roll into coarse particles, sieve into loose wet rice flour, placed in the middle of the bean paste and other fillings, decorated with osmanthus flowers or jujubes, walnuts, and other nuts on the surface, sweet and soft to eat.
When the osmanthus flowers just opened, I picked some fresh osmanthus flowers to make osmanthus syrup, in addition to drinking water, of course, to do some osmanthus aroma of snacks, so I made this osmanthus cake. My recipe for this osmanthus cake is a little different from the popular recipe on the internet, the proportion of glutinous rice flour is a little larger, I prefer the soft and sticky texture.
